The Small Child Fountain, located just north of the famous George Washington Equestrian Statue, was sculpted by local artist Mary E. Moore. The fountain may typically be found running between the months of May-September during which time you will likely catch some brave children running up to the fountain to enjoy the refreshing water. The fountain is of a small nude boy sitting atop a pile of rock and staring at whatever small kids look at in some instances. Here he may be appearing at the rocks, the leaf atop the rocks, or perhaps it is just his knee. Irregardless the fountain is clearly a tribute to the innocence of youth.
